The president is right, of course. Jumping to conclusions, like accusing a white police officer of “acting stupidly” for simply doing his job, is un-American.
Obama: Don’t ‘Jump to Conclusions’ About Nidal Malik Hasan
As the facts surrounding the slaughter of thirteen people at Fort Hood continue to unfold, President Obama urged restraint.
As reported, in part, at breitbart.com:, the president tried to calm the American people:
“President Barack Obama said Friday the entire nation is grieving for those slain at Fort Hood, and he urged people not to jump to conclusions while law enforcement officers investigate the shootings.
“Obama met Friday morning with FBI Director Robert Mueller and other federal leaders to get an update on what they’ve learned. Thirteen people were killed and 30 others injured in the shooting rampage at the Texas Army post on Thursday. The suspected shooter is an Army psychiatrist; his motive remains unclear.
‘We don’t know all the answers yet. And I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts,’ Obama said in a Rose Garden statement otherwise devoted to the economy.”
The president is right, of course. Jumping to conclusions, like accusing a white police officer of “acting stupidly” for simply doing his job, is un-American.
Without jumping to conclusions, one can consider the pertinent facts known thus far:
- The suspected shooter, Major Nidal Malik Hasan is a Muslim, a member of the ‘Religion of Peace’
- Hasan was about to be deployed to fight in Obama’s war in Afghanistan.
While investigating this act of terrorism, President Obama needs to answer a basic question about United States military policy: Why are Muslims allowed to serve at all, and why are they allowed access to lethal weapons?
Asking that question may be loathsome to politically correct liberals, but it needs to be asked and answered. ASAP!
American lives are at risk, and the time for simple minded political correctness and pandering has long since passed.
This was an act of terrorism by an Islamic extremist and it must be treated as such by Obama and the Democrats who control Congress!
